You don’t have to know how it works, it just does. In many ways, the “magic” in this suite of plug-ins happens behind the scenes. Seven tools, some updated and some completely new, that re-set the standard for video image manipulation. Now, we have Magic Bullet Suite 12, which in my eyes is an absolute game changer. The bundling of other complementary tools into the Magic Bullet Suite of plug-ins just added to that must-have product for any serious editor. When I saw Magic Bullet looks for the first time in early 2008, I knew it would change the landscape of video image processing, and it did that in spades. It’s more than possible to achieve this look with Colorista or Magic Bullet Looks (check out the Blockbuster preset-it’s been there since day one).As a video editor for the last three decades, I’ve certainly seen my fair share of plug-ins for color correction and grading. Sometimes you just want to take your footage that already looks pretty darn good, and give it a little bit of… Mojo.īut sometimes you just want to spruce up your footage quickly and easily, without a hundred presets to peruse or a powerful colorist’s interface to manipulate. Magic Bullet Mojo from Red Giant Software is the pocket-sized screwdriver to Magic Bullet Looks’s cordless driver drill. It does one thing, and does it quickly and easily. It gives you that Mojo thang with just a few simple sliders to adjust, and ships with presets for popular looks. Unlike Looks and Colorista, Mojo is a bit of a one-trick pony. It’s simple and easy and priced to be an impulse-buy at $99 US.
One license allows you to use it in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, After Effects, and Apple Motion. Here are some preemptive answers to questions you might have about Mojo: Mojo is also now a part of the Magic Bullet Suite. Q: Isn’t this look just a cheap gimmick? Just a trend that could pass in a few days/weeks months?Ī: Maybe, but in another way it’s an evolution of practices many years old in color correction suites around the world. Is it overused? Sure, but that’s because it works. Personally, I love the way it looks, when done tastefully. We provide the tools, you provide the taste.
